Hi! I'm Kushal – originally from India, currently navigating life between countries thanks to my work with the United Nations. I'm easygoing, curious, and always up for good conversations over chai, coffee, or local food. I enjoy learning about different cultures, trying out new cuisines, and sharing stories from the road.

Professionally, I work in IT, but outside of work, I love exploring cities on foot, listening to music from around the world, and meeting people who think differently. Couchsurfing for me is more about building meaningful connections and seeing the world through local eyes.

I’m respectful of your space, clean, non-smoker, and a decent cook (if you like Indian food, I’m happy to share a meal!). Whether we hang out or just cross paths briefly, I look forward to exchanging stories and positive vibes.
